Detecting selected item on List Box

[Guest_imported]

How can I know if there is a selected item on a list box?
I thought this worked as for the comboboxes, ie, the ListIndex property would return -1. But now I figured that this property will return 0 if there is no selected item or if the first one is selected, so I don't really know how can I detect if the list box as a selected item or not. Anyone can help?

Hi,

You can loop through the list to detect which items are selected:

for i=0 to list1.listcount-1
if list1.selected(i) then msgbox("Item "& cstr(i) &" is selected."
next i

Maybe there's easier way...

If there is an easier way, I've not found it. In addition, if you would like to know what the actual text of the selected item is, rather than its index, change the IF statement between the For Next to:

If List1.Selected(i) Then msgbox("Item " & List1.List(i) & " is selected."
